A modern, comfort-forward take on the classic boat shoe
The LUCA Terra Low Boat Shoe is our take on the timeless maritime style. Built by artisans in our Portuguese factory, each pair is handcrafted from heavily oiled, water-resistant leather sourced from a storied European tannery. The design features a durable hand-sewn moc-toe with reinforced stitching all around. At the base, hand-pressed Lactae Hevea gum soles—in lieu of flat, unsupportive ones—with a custom tread pattern offer all-day comfort and solid traction on wet surfaces.

Lactae Hevea soles are made from natural rubber—hand-poured milk sap cured slowly rather than mass-produced. Because this organic material breathes, exposure to light or heat can occasionally create a light white haze known as "blooming.” This is a normal characteristic of natural rubber, not a defect. It wipes away easily with a damp cloth—repeat the process if it returns. To help prevent blooming, store your shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
